Wow, this was a project! It took about four hours of my Sunday morning to give the refrigerator a full clean, organize and style. Here are some of my thoughts. 1. I’m unsure if this is sustainable, but I love it so much, so I’m going to give it a serious try! For the first time ever I can see all my produce, so I think this will lead to less waste and maybe also less shopping. 2. This would be literally impossible for anyone with kids unless you never allow them to touch your refrigerator. 😂 I also know in the past because of my mental health I would have never been able to keep up with this. 3. I vowed I would not be a person who would trash parts of items to fit the aesthetic. Any overflow is in the back alongside some items I use less. This meant buying pitchers that held the same fluid ounces of the things I topically buy, like juice and cold brew. It also meant splitting some things into two (like the Brussels sprouts) and creatively organizing (like the mushrooms). That also meant something leftover, such as my half cucumber, needed a home. It was another place I needed a creative solution, so now I have some cucumber slices prepped for other things in a spare Harry Potter jar that I never use anyway. 4. Adding the flowers was a cheerful touch that will generally cost me nothing. I bought flowers this time because I wanted more around the house, but in the future I’ll just grab some from the garden. 5. This process made me realize I tend to buy duplicates of things because I didn’t realize I already had some waiting. Like, as much as I like Old Croc cheese, I did not realize I had so much. I’m embarrassed. I also saw I had some very unnecessary food waste, like a package of celery that went bad before I’d even opened it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6. You could easily thrift some of the storage items and it would probably be even prettier than this and more special. Overall I actually love this, but we’ll see how I do with it in the long run. In the meantime I’ll probably open my refrigerator 20 times a day just to look at it. #fridgescaping #refrigeratororganization #organizationideas #satisfyingvideos #satisfyingcleaning @HomeGoods @Wayfair @Amazon Home @Temu @LG Electronics USA @Anthropologie @magnolia @Walmart @ShopRite Stores

I’ve seen a spike in commentary as of late regarding fridgescaping safety. It’s about as ridiculous as it sounds, but it’s good to have best practices for doing this. To be honest, these things also extend to maintaining a refrigerator in general. It’s things you should be doing anyway. They’re just more important if you decide you want to give it a go. 1. Always clean up spills right away and keep your fridge clean in general. This prevents bacteria growth, prolongs fruit freshness and helps to avoid cross-contamination. 2. Speaking of cross-contamination, something like uncovered meat can lead to a meat juice spill. Yuck! Spills can be breeding grounds for bacteria, so I recommend keeping raw meat covered and on for bottom shelf. 3. Always lead test old antiques you’re putting in your fridge. You’re storing your food in these items, so ensure they’re safe. Honestly, do the same for anything you’re eating off of that’s an oldie. 4. In the same vein, make sure the containers you’re using are food safe. Some decor items are meant to only be decor. If you’re shopping online, if the description on the manufacturers notes says “decorative only” it’s best not to put food in it. 5. Don’t block your air vents! To be honest, you’d need a fair amount of things in there to crowd your fridge to point of it running inefficiently, but it’s important to keep those vents open for temperature circulation and airflow. I would just say be thoughtful. I think the FDA and media can be hyperbolic because they want people to be safe, but I also think most people are smart enough to be logical and take care of themselves. Always do your research for yourself though. Always. Don’t believe me. Read about it if you have questions. Do your own research! I’m not a food scientist or a refrigerator tech, but I’m working on collaborating with people in both fields, so fingers crossed I can partner with some specialists soon to relay information the best I can. I’ll probably learn some things, too! #fridgescaping #fridgescape #fridgeorganization #fridgedecor #kitchedecor #kitcheorganizing
